About

Gianna is a lifelong writer who discovered her love for journalism and photojournalism in high school. Currently based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, she has always been very passionate about storytelling and the connective power of an individual story. 

Her journalistic work, in written, audio and photo formats, can be found in the North Texas Daily, the student-led, editorially independent newspaper at the University of North Texas. While in attendance, she served as the Arts & Life/The Dose Editor, Managing Editor, and Editor-in-Chief of the paper. Her poetry can be found in the 2025 edition of the North Texas Review, and she is currently working on the first draft of a supernatural thriller she plans to be her debut novel. 

Gianna graduated from UNT a semester early, magna cum laude, earning a B.A. in Journalism with a focus on digital and print media and a minor in English.

Originally hailing from the sunny beaches of South Florida, Gianna has called Texas home for nearly 15 years. She is eager to tell the stories that matter to her community and to use her skill with words to lift up the voices of those who feel unheard. 

Gianna believes that at the heart of every story is a person; we just have to make sure we're listening.
